To (ZZZ whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, ANDREAS SAXEGAARD,

a subject of the King of Norway, residing at Christiania, Norway, have-invented certain 6 new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Household Cooking; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which 10 it appertains to make. and use the same, referen as being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. I v Theinvention has for its object to pro- 1 vide improvements in apparatus for household cooking of the kind in which the cook ing vessels are heated by means of a water bath maintained at a suitable temperature 0 by electric means. 1

As these domestic cookers have been constructed hitherto, certain practical drawbacks are connected therewith partly as re 7 gards the arrangement of the water rese r voirs and partly asregards the electric devices, According to the, present invention improvements are made for the purpose of facilitating the daily attendance of the same and avoiding asmuch as possible'professional assistance for keeping the electrical appliances in order. 7

I In known domestic cookers the cooking vessels are let down into the water circulating around the electric heating devices. As the bottom of the water reservoir becomes dirty owing to careless handling of the food vessels, and the settling of the mud in. the water a cleaning and rinsing of the reservoir from time to time becomes necessary. This is not only troublesome but also causes loss of heat, because all the heat-storing water must be drawn off and a new quantity of cold water be again brought up to a high temperature. In addition thereto the cooker is out'of operation for several hours.

In the previousconstruction the cooking vessels rest upon a perforated platearranged at a suitable distance below the level of the storage water. In the present construction a partition is provided so that the water on top of this partition, and in whichthe cooking esselsare letdown, is separated from the heatstoring water, the latter being en closed Within a subjacent container, wherein the heating elements are arranged and, from which the heat is transmitted through the partition to the water, in which the cooking vessels are placed. Thus no fluid or solid matter from the cooking vessels can find its way down into the heat storage-space, it will settle Within the upper space and may be very easily removed therefrom at any time. I v Other improvements will be more specifically described with reference to the annexed drawings, which illustrate, a preferred form for carrying out the invention. I

Fig. l is a .verticallongitudinal section of the cooker on the line I I on F ig. 2.

Fig. 2 is a plan of the same,the top covers being removed. In the drawing A desigates the cooking space and B the space containing waterfor house-hold use. Below these. two spaces is arranged the reservoir C for the heat storing water, the partition D separating the reservoir from "the spaces A and B. The reservoir Cbhas an opening at the top extending in the form of atube E into the space B. The tube E projects into ahood F fastenedto the top-cover Valid from the top of the hood F apipe G iscarried up to the condenser 01', radiator H, from thebottom of which a pipe I leads down intothe reservoir C. By this means steam generated in the, reservoir C may escape through'the tubeiE, hood F and pipe G into the radiator H, where it is condensed, the water of condensation returning through the pipe I into thereservoir C; a i 3 vThetubeE and the hood ,.which latter has a greater diameterthan the tube E,

form together as shown in the drawinga water-trap, solthat no steam from the reservoir G can enter into the compartments above the partitions ,D. t j

The two compartments A and B are separated from each other by means of the partition K. I This partition has at its lower end an opening M, through which thecompartment B communicates With a compartment formed by a diagonally placed wall in the compartment A, said wall terminating at a certain distance from the top ofthe in the corner between B andA. I

When the cooker-is being used theres ervoir C is fnllof-water and in thecompart- .ment B the water level reaches to the upper compartment A and forming a water-trap edge of the corner wall L, whereas in the compartmentAthere is only a few inches Watena sishown. I r,

The aterin the compartment B beingfor household use, it will be consumed in the course of the dayntherecbeingzitcock as shown, for drawing oil the water. In the evening fresh water is filled into thi's'cofrrpartment by lifting the cover W on the cooking compartment and"pourin'g water into" he small It is th compartment B compa tm t ehind h Wall L.
